[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 930778, member: 10291"] While I know some shooters that push to higher weight bullets in the 1:12 twist barrels, I keep bullet weights under 200 gr, prefering 180 as the high end. My favorite load on game out to 500 yards are the 165gr Nosler AB's and BT's driven at 2800FPS. For Kudu/Wildebeest i might consider 180's over the 165's. They are both exceptionally accurate in my rifles, have a decent BC, and perform well on game. I also can use the same load recipes substituting the less costly 168/175 Sierra SMK's for target and varmints, with comparable ballistics/holds which aids in hunting proficiency. I don't bother dropping to lighter bullets for target and varminting, preferring to keep things simple. There are several medium burn rate powders like Varget, R15, IMR4895, IMR4064, and others loaded with 42-45gr weight range that will produce excellent accuracy, and achieve velocities in the 2700-2800FPS range with little load development effort.IMO [/QUOTE]
